Design Partner Recruiter
Find your first design partners
An agent that helps founders find, recruit, and learn from their first 10 design partners. It builds a qualified list, drafts personal outreach in your voice, and tracks every conversation until 10 partners hit your active milestone.
The problem
Your first 10 customers usually come from founder outreach, and that work competes with building the product. Finding people who actually have the problem, writing a note that does not read like a template, keeping track of who replied and what they said, and turning interviews into product decisions all fall to you. Most design partner programs stall at a spreadsheet of names and a few calls nobody wrote up.
How the agent does it
Confirm the partner profile. The agent infers and confirms the design-partner profile, problem hypothesis, offer, and the commitment milestone that counts as active.
Build a qualified list. It builds a prospect list from Nex, approved sources, public research, and optional enrichment, deduplicated against your CRM.
Draft personal outreach. It researches why each person may care and drafts outreach in the founder's voice; contacting anyone requires your approval.
Track every candidate. It tracks conversations, interviews, objections, commitments, and the next action for each candidate.
Synthesize and keep going. It turns interviews into insights and product or positioning decisions, and keeps recruiting until 10 partners reach the milestone.

Questions
How do you find your first design partners?
Define who has the problem badly enough to shape the product, and what a committed partner does, such as weekly use or a feedback session. Then reach out personally and track every conversation. The agent does the research, drafting, and tracking so you spend your time in the conversations.
What makes a good design partner program?
A clear profile, a specific problem hypothesis, a concrete offer, and a measurable commitment milestone. The agent asks you to confirm all four before it builds the list, and counts a partner only when they reach the milestone you defined.
Does it send messages from my accounts?
Not without approval. It researches and drafts within scope on its own, but contacting prospects, asking for introductions, and turning on recurring recruitment all require your explicit approval. LinkedIn and Gmail help in Annex is optional.
